Current Turbo kit maker?
My Procharger died last night, and I had been thinking of converting to a turbo setup anyways, now I have a reason to do it. However I can't find anything on the BBS designs kit anymore, I'm mainly searching for the turbo manifold itself. Google turns up a bunch of dead ends. Anyone?

Someone stole his design and started making a cheap copy. He decided it wasn't worth challenging a larger company.
You can try to get a hold of him, but I've been trying for about a month. Your other options are to build your own or purchasing a set that someone has been using for a while. Stay away from SSAutoChrome.com (they are the cheap copies of BBSDesigns), they are cracking on everyone.

They build headers, turbos, etc. Here is a post about the bad turbo bearings that many have had going out. There's a bunch more posts like this one, but I'm feeling lazy with the search right now...it's 8:30am and my first cup of coffee.

negative. twin turbo 406, use the search feature
just makin a point that 1600 headers arent what most DIY folks want to purchase.. whoever makes cheaper headers for DIY folks will more then likely get the business. I myself had mine fabricated..I wouldnt buy a set from someone out of state.

I run a set of BBS headers that Ed made and they are 100% awesome!! I was so impressed with the design, info, and build quality of the headers he was making for everyone over there in yankyland, I had him make a custom RHD set for me and got them sent here to Australia, rather than try and get a local to fab up a set.
